Connectors

Teradata Visual Explain uses two types of connectors to show the relationship between the database objects. These connectors turn the individual icons of the visual plan into an easy‑to‑understand graphical flow chart. Table 22 describes the connector types.

 

Table 22: Connector Descriptions 

Connector Type

Description

Solid line

The relationships between database objects displayed in the visual plan (for example, a table, a spool, and the result set).

These connectors are always on.

Dashed line

Spool reuse in the visual plan.

To view these connectors, click View>Show Connectors.

Clicking on a dashed‑line connector changes the line to a solid line. Right-click on a connector to go to the source or go to a target.

Use the menu options to navigate between the steps where the spool is reused.

For additional information, see “Locating Spool References” on page 152.
